Abstract
Electromagnetic properties of the low-lying states in a
nucleus
were studied through the multiple Coulomb excitation of a
beam with a
Pb target.
Relative
-ray intensities were measured as a
function of emission angle relative to the scattered projectile.
Sixteen
E2 matrix elements, including
diagonal ones, for 6 low-lying states have been determined
using the least-squares search code GOSIA.
The expectation values
of 0
1+ and 0
2+
states in
are compared with those in
.
Simple mixing calculations
indicate that the 0
2+ states in
and
can be treated as
deformed intruder states. It is shown that the deformed intruder becomes the
ground state in
. These interpretations of the 0
2+ states in this region are compared
with the potential-energy surface calculations by the Nilsson-Strutinsky model, which allow
to interpret the experimental results in a qualitative way from the theoretical point
of view.
